Awake and up all night

Lol. No, never seen or heard of them.  It's probable that as I moved schools every 2 years, I missed all of them purely by chance.  xxx  

You do make me laugh  

Ray, you don't know what you've missed. Soylent Green is a good sci-fi and goes deep into future events without realising at the time.

I enjoy rom-coms and historical dramas too, but my faves are documentaries based on real life events. Then I'll go the other way and get absorbed in the Proms if they've got a good classical piece on offer.

I'm quite easily pleased really xxx

WAHOO! This us fabulous!

️ ️️ ️

I know. If you want to chat with Ray about things he's never seen, I'll give some info on the mini break xxx

No excuse they were just on regular telly.

Quite a variety, from the dangers of polishing floors under rugs, to packing too many passengers into your car!

Cheers 

Not heard of Soylant Green either. However, I do like documentaries and a wide range of music including classical although I'm hopeless when it comes to remembering composers (i.e. who wrote what) or lyrics in popular music. 

Shimmers, do your compatriots have unusual musical tastes? xxx 

Well, my eldest likes to take holidays on her own, so every year in very late August, she books a flash beach side apartment in Redcar as she enjoys the peace and quiet.

This time last year she announced she'd booked the Regency Mansions, a very swish place with sea views from almost every window, and a turret wing for OH and me. She knew we couldn't spend too long there because of health issues with OH, but 2 days is more than enough. She's paid for everything, plus train tickets, and I'll see if I can get some decent pics and post them here.

OH has had the Scarborough warning NOT to have his face tripping him as it's supposed to be a breather for me too, but I'll still have to take all his stuff as TLC doesn't get a holiday. 

We're going on Monday morning and I'm gagging to get on the train xxx

My wife's friends lived in Redcar for several years. We visited quite often. Sounds like a great idea from your eldest. Wishing you and OH an excellent break. The fish and chip shops there were amongst the best in the 1980s when I was last there. xxx

No wonder you are excited  It sounds amazing!

What a brilliant gift. 

Ray, thank you hon. Believe me, fish and chips is high up on the list! And slot machines, ice creams and the beach!

I'm a cheap date but I want to get as much in as possible and just hope OH will enjoy himself xxx
